The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Olympia 2026, Aaron Wedgwood crossed the line in 1:24:05: 423rd of 897 men, faster than 53% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 70% of the field beaten on the stations, against 38% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:01 on the median. The race faded late: the second half went 3:30 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 8:58 faster at London Olympia 2026 than at Paris 2025, a quicker course than most.
